ArmyBengal Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 The Reds have today off before starting a 3 game series with the Blue Jays back home.This go round of interleague play has them getting the Yankees, followed by Baltimore, Tampa Bay, and Cleveland.When they get through that, they draw a series against the Brewers and Cardinals.I just want to see them get some series wins at a minimum and play some solid ball heading into their NL Central games prior to the break.GO REDS !!!

Stripes Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 That's just a brutal stretch and I expect it to decide the Reds' season. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Posted June 16, 2011 It still may be a little early to decide the season, but it could very well throw a wrench into it for sure.Couple that with the first series after the break is another with the Cardinals and it will be very interesting to watch over the next month.

BengalszoneBilly Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 I'm watching the Giants @ Diamondbacks game right now, and they just pointed out both the Brewers and Cardinals lost tonight. Good news for the Reds! Quote
Stripes Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 That's six straight losses for St. Louis and Milwaukee lost their series against the Cubs. Hopefully those two are still slumping after the interleague games. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 That's exactly what i'm talking about, you just never know what the other teams are going to do. I mean, would have guessed the Brewers would have lost that series to the Cubs ??What about the Cards going on a long losing streak ??All I know is, the Reds have the ability to play some really good ball. They have a good pitching rotation, but need to get through the 1st inning without putting their team in a hole. They have played well against the Cards and Brewers this season as well, so they just need to keep their focus and they will be alright. Bailey coming back to bolster the starting rotation surely wouldn't hurt either. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 We got lucky today boys. Both the Brewers and Cardinals lost! I'm completely astounded on how bad St. Louis is playing right now. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Posted June 18, 2011 Thank God they are playing so poorly. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Posted June 19, 2011 Reds losing 4-0 end of the 5th.Volquez keeps throwing fastballs right down the middle and the Blue Jays are sitting and waiting for them.Heisey had one of the worst plays in the outfield i've seen from a player in a long time.Shortstop continues to be a problem.

semiotter Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 wow Blue jays come off getting killed at home and come here and look soild. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Posted June 19, 2011 And the Brewers and Cards both win.Yeah, I agree with TDB's smilie !!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 Today is a must win game. We simply cannot get swept! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Posted June 19, 2011 Well they are holding onto a 2-1 lead in the top of the 9th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 19, 2011 Report Posted June 19, 2011 The Reds win and the Brewers lose. Nice day in my book! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 I'm not saying it because I enjoy it, but Pujols got hurt today.That can't be good for the Cards.Glad the Reds got at least one game in the series. Arroyo pitched very well today !!!Oh yeah, even though Jocketty is against it right now, i'm all in for seeing Cozart brought up to get some time at shortstop.He's playing some ball down there. Quote
Stripes Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Thank goodness they salvaged a game. It only gets tougher now with the Yankees coming to Cincinnati. Quote
